Swim Lesson and Camp Information

Red Cross SwimPreschool and Swim Kids programs will be offered again this summer, as well as Bronze Level Lifeguarding courses. Members in good standing can register their children or grandchildren in lessons. Non-members may register for Bronze Level Lifeguarding courses only, space permitting.

Red Cross Swim lessons cost $35.00 per two-week session.

Bronze Level Lifeguarding courses cost: $105.00 for BPHA members and $130 for non-members, with preference given to members for registration, should classes fill up.

Please note: There will be no reduction or refund in lesson fees due to missed lessons or inclement weather. During inclement weather, staff will provide water safety lessons.

2018 Session Dates (all lessons run Monday through Friday for two weeks):

For a child to be registerd in Swim Kids 1, they must be able to touch the pool bottom in the shallow end with their chin out of the water. If they are not able to touch, they will be assigned to Swim Preschool where they must be accompanied by an adult in the water. Progression to Swim Kids 1 is at the discretion of the instructor.

All other levels can be determined by using the Red Cross Registration Guide and/or talking with the pool managers at the time of registration.

Private Swim Lessons

Private swim lessons are offered to help swimmers acheive their goals in a one to one format. To schedule lessons, please complete a private lesson registration form and arrange lesson times with the Pool Manager. Cost is $15.00 per half hour lesson.

Kids' Fun Camp

Monday, August 27 through Friday, August 31: 9:00-11:30am

This season-end camp is an opportunity for kids to have fun and show off all their hard work in summer lessons. The camp is available to swimmers who have passed the BPHA swim test for deep end swimming. Campers will be divided into 3 age groups depending on enrollment numbers. Cost is $35.00 for the week, paid in advance, by cheque made out to Beechwood Park Homes Association.

Activities include 1 hour of pool time, 30 minutes for snack/break, and 1 hour of games and crafts under the pavillion or on the grass behind the pool. The Friday Hotdog/Pancake Lunch will remain, but other regular pool events (12:15pm games and crafts) are cancelled.

Registration is capped at 25, so register early to avoid disappointment.
